Nemacolin, Pennsylvania’s premier luxury golf resort destination, rings in the 2023 golf season this weekend with a Season Kick-off Party at The Nemacolin Golf Academy, on April 1, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
With droves of anxious golfers soon returning to the resort’s acclaimed Mystic Rock and Shepherd’s Rock Courses, the resort’s golf staff is helping them prepare for the season with chances to try the latest equipment from Titleist, Callaway, and Mizuno. A Travis Mathew trunk show will also take place, showcasing the latest fashion-forward golf styles, while fun contests will give attendees the chance win a new driver, putter, or wedge.
Two legends in golf broadcasting, Peter Kostis and Gary McCord, will also be appearing at the event to tell stories and even help guests with their golf games.
Hosts of the golfing world’s fastest-growing new video podcast, Kostis & McCord – Off Their Rockers, the duo spent three decades on the CBS Sports broadcast team, covering hundreds of marquee PGA Tour events. Kostis is one of golf’s most respected and awarded teaching professionals, while the hilariously off-kilter McCord played in more than 400 PGA Tour events and won twice on the PGA Tour Champions.
“Nemacolin members, guests, and VIPs are going to get a peek inside our process and repartee. Gary and I can’t wait to meet everyone and share some laughs and perspective on the game we all love. With this podcast, we can finally share all the untold feuds, fights, laughs, and secrets that we had to keep quiet for all those years. Those previously off-limit stories are fair game now,” said Kostis. “We’ve pretty much seen it all in our decades of playing, teaching, calling the action, and now we’re ready to bring fans inside the ropes and behind the scenes with no holds barred.”
Kostis and McCord will spend the day with Nemacolin’s members of The Woodlands Club and Season Kick-Off Party attendees in The Nemacolin Golf Academy, doling out swing tips, legendary stories, and recording an episode of Kostis & McCord – Off Their Rockers live from the event. Then, later that night, Kostis and McCord will join the group for an intimate after-dinner conversation where they’ll let loose with their unique brand of storytelling and invite questions from the crowd.
“Coming off one of the greatest golf seasons for Mystic Rock, Shepherd’s Rock, and The Nemacolin Golf Academy, we’re excited for what’s in store for 2023, and this event is a fun opportunity to get golfers primed for the season in our state-of-the-art teaching and practice space,” said Director of Golf Operation Chris Anderson. “The chance to hang out with Gary McCord and Peter Kostis will really elevate this event for our attendees and is sure to bring a ton of laughs and inspiration to take into the golf season.
This is event is also an opportunity to introduce guests to The Woodlands Club membership at Nemacolin, which takes uncompromised advantage of the award-winning 2,200-acre, four-season resort’s recreational, dining, adventure, and leisure amenities, plus around-the-clock concierge service, and access to private aviation.
Located in the Allegheny Mountains and home to Mystic Rock and Shepherd’s Rock, two imaginative Pete Dye golf courses, Nemacolin showcases the Laurel Highlands’ vast, rugged topography, lush terrain, and majestic sweeping vistas, along with grand hotels and a cornucopia of lifestyle amenities and activities.
